It's nice to be somewhere private and enclosed and nice, in any case, ever-present tension loosening just a little as Lucius moves on inside at invitation. Also nice that they are alone -- he could do with more time before running into anyone he knows, or thinks he knows, or resembles himself from the best part of two decades ago. His coat is shed, placed down upon a convenient flat surface along with his cane, his clothing antiquated by modern or Muggle standards and could probably do with repairs, or laundering, or-- getting thrown away, by now.
Fingers searching over the slightly damp spot at his shoulder, darker from the drab grey cotton of his shirt, he reports, dryly, "I think I'll live." But he does sit down, if only to get off his feet.
